The attached patch adds support for parsing command-line arguments passed via the LoadOptions field of the LoadedImage protocol. The options correspond to the ones already implemented in rEFIt 0.4 and discussed in this thread (http://forum.onmac.net/showthread.php?t=674).

The patch affects lib.c and xom.c. In lib.c, the ShellInterface code is replaced with code that parses LoadOptions into the argc and argv variables. In xom.c, argv is parsed for options and the appropriate variables are set. The '-s' option causes xomChooseBoot() to return with BootLegacy right away without waiting for user input.

The patch was taken against revision 12 of the repository.

Hey chrisp,

Thanks for the patch. I just checked it in as revision 13.
Btw, will your new cmd line parsing understand the arguments passed from the EFI shell as well? I didn't have a chance to test them under the shell...

[chrisp]

Yes, the shell also sets the LoadOptions field, so calling xom.efi from the shell with parameters should still work. Didn't test it, though.
